If this game didn't freeze up and would show progress in the rank of 50, there mighjt be an end. As it is, I think I must have raised at least 500 pandas. :*(
FYI, I actually did acheive Panda Master and the rank of 50, however the rank notifier never actually changes to 50 (it stays at 49, don't know why). BUT, when you do finally achieve the rank of 50 (which seems to take a LOOOONG time) you should get the Trophy and will be told that you achieved the rank of 50 at that time.
Snowflakes50: I don't have any big secrets. I am currently rank 37 & have raised only 32 Pandas. Part of problem I find is when the Panda "asks" 4 something in the tiles that is not yet available. But I have changed my strategy a bit 2 try 2 compensate 4 this. Now when I get near 1end, last 3-4 sets of tiles & have food, toys or water tiles left I will deliberately stop clearing tiles until the Panda asks 4 what he needs. That way I can maximize the Panda's growth 4 that game. This has helped...
Cont... I've found that extra time waiting 4 Panda 2 ask for the remaining "needs" tiles does not adversely effect my score or amt of tokens earned. This way I can usually raise 1 Panda in 6 to 7 games, which is abt the minimum I've gotten it down to. Also, reshuffle does not seem 2 help here as much as in Daily MJ. Good luck. I would guess that fact this game never reaches rank 50 is 2 allow people 2 continue 2 play once they've earned all Trophies. Hey Snowcone! Nice 2 see u in the rvws here!
snowflake50= FYI, a player MUST play 13 consecutive games in order to raise 1 panda to adulthood. There is a "panda growth" chart that counts the number of games you play in one sitting. If you leave the game at anytime prior to playing 13 straight games, then you will be forced to start all over again when you come back. It does take a long time to play 13 games in one sitting, but it's really worth the points you get, especially if you play the "hard" version. Hope this helps.
I've reached Ranking 50 w/ 118 Pandas raised so far. I play the Hard mode, which goes faster, because it gives you more points (although faster is relative, it took forever anyway). The trick is to only match food, honey toys and water when the Panda asks for it. It may take longer to finish a hand, but it's up to you to either take forever to raise a panda or take forever to be done w/ a game. I think it's a play on the whole concept of "Asian Patience". Hehehe
To find out how many pandas you have look at the boxes under where it says trophies for Mahjong Panda. Click on the third box--mom and baby panda. That will tell you how many you have raised.
If you wanna get a higher ranking faster, play the hard mode (because you make more points). If you wanna raise Pandas faster, play on easy mode and only give food, honey, water or toys to the panda when he asks for it. Also, never reset the game if your Panda has already grown up completely but you still haven't gotten the message of "Thanks for Raising the Panda". Because if you reset before the message, you get back to a Baby Panda and will have to go through the whole process once again.
I also play tooo much and don't add up pandas. I did find that after you raise a panda if you go out of the game and out of shockwave it usually, not always, will give you a panda. Hope this helps.
still loving this game, but playing it much less frequently now that I've raised the panda. I cannot reste to play from the beginning again. It keeps starting at level 49.
I'm a little confused about the ranking, on the side it says I'm 49 but in the game it says 50 I don't have the Trophy. I'm wondering if I have to win the final Panda raising trophy before being awarded the ranking trophy? Can anyone tell me?
How do you know how much more you need to do to get the grand master? It seems like I've been at 49 forever! I thought I saw a message once that said how much I had to go, but I haven't been able to find it again.
Is anyone else having problems with this game crashing/ taking eons to load; changing games mid game? I am on level 48 and have only had these problems this past week!
I am so addicted to this game !! It's Great! I have been playing, and playing and ... But, I am stuck on level 47. I'll keep at it. Try it you will enjoy!! I give 5 stars !!
daisyaday, I've tried to add you as a friend but my computer doesn't like to work on that page (temperamental). You could see if it will work from your end.
I found a glitch in a Turtle formation! I had 6 tiles left 1 pair not special Panda tiles and 2 pair Panda tiles which were Water and Bamboo and Panda was asking for Honey. I have played 100's of games thus thousands of rounds and this was the first error in the game. I can live with one error, but it saddened me.
Poohbearid - have you going to your trophies? I found that after a while. The blasted thing was giving me all the stuff I had won - it was showing as being given but it wasn't showing that. LOL - I'm at level 50, with another 150 panda's to go!!!
I am no expert, but I think that this game was never intended to be quick; you must win the entire cycle of boards to raise the panda;you will get quicker with practice
to cjuul62 I'm not sure what you mean by 'Temporarily' joining. However, I can tell you that you get full benefits ot the Club if you join. It may be because of that the game does not fully load. I'm not sure just a possibility. If you are a Gamer as I am it's really worth becoming A Member and the cost is so affordable. I'm a Senior live mostly on Soc.Sec. and found a payment option that works for me. Anyway, Good Luck with your problem
My panda walked off and won't come back! Just like a teenager.He's half grown but I guess I'll have to shut the game down and restart completely, grrr.
Too bad that even though you have made it past the 50th level, the rank still shows the 49th level on the screen. At this point in time, I wish the tiles could be changed and maybe give the Panda exercises to do. I hope the game producers read our comments as well as the players!
Renanevada - check you trophy boards. I think the level doesn't change from 49 to 50 to allow for longer play. I have the trophy for obtaining level 50 but the screen only shows level49.
Beautifulspirit43 - I realize I can keep playing and have won all the trophies, it's just that one scoreboard doesn't agree with the other - -just another glitch in the programing! Thanks for your feedback! I'm curious to know who reads our comments and if they take any of it to heart.

DB2, I love this game. Good to see you here too. Haven't seen you on reviews in other games and was worried. Have a great day!

On medium level I'm able to raise a panda in 8 games. It may depend on what level you're playing or how many tokens you earn.

Great match 3 game. Challenging without being impossible, only wish there were more levels and that you were able to reset the game.
daisyaday
You can reset; just hit hint; if there are no plays, you can reset.
pammyjane
Love this game. Waiting on the food helped me reach my high score of 446!

WOW I play this all the time but it says I have no raised pandas?? why would this be how can I do better any ides?

Have any of you ever tried updating your progress up by the trophies area? Sometimes that places the pandas that haven't been counted yet.

All is OK. I just closed and opened the game and the Supreme Panda Master Trophy came up. I still have quite a few Pandas to raise though.

I hate it when the game just continues to save and save but never continues! It is always when I am near the end. So on to starting all over.

Ijust can't stop I'll ever get my grandson dinner at this rate. I will play more after he leaves for the night.

Love this game -- difficult but challenging. And the chirping birds are so peaceful!

I love the game but it freezes up and won't come back in!!!!

The panda just wandered off the screen in the middle of a round. Also, one of the scratch games seems to think "soilder" is a word. =/
daisyaday
had 2 pandas for the last 2 games; at the end, one walked off and the other stayed for the scratch off!

lamm, I have tried several times to write to you; thanks and hope you are doing well!

how do you get your panda to grow up faster what am i missing. i only have one and rank 11

If you want your Panda to grow up quicker, only feed it what it asks for, when it asks for it.

One of the reasons I'm so slow at this game is that I stop making matches to watch him cuddle his toy. It's so adorable.

why does my panda growth chart reset everytime no wonder he never gets grown up.
